Restorative Medicine is a therapeutic approach aimed at restoring organ function and endocrine balance on a functional level such that, cellular, metabolic, and functional improvements can be long lasting reducing the need for multiple pharmaceutical interventions. Restorative Medicine seeks to cure the causes of chronic musculoskeletal pain by healing damage and degeneration of connective tissue caused by traumatic injuries and repetitive motion injuries. This is accomplished by injecting natural substances or one's own blood platelets and tissue stem cells directly into the problem areas in order to regenerate healthy tissue.

I strive to help my patients get back into balance and ultimately optimize their health. I studied Biology at the University of California, Riverside and worked as a pharmacy technician. However, I felt like something was missing within the conventional field and explored other ways of healing. That is when I fell in love with Naturopathic Medicine. I then obtained my Doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University. I have done advanced training in Intravenous nutrition and Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) micro-needling. I specialize in gut conditions, women’s health, anti-aging and integrative medicine.

The human body is a system, complex, intertwined and in rhythm with family, community and universe. As a system, it is managed by the endocrine system, or your hormones. Each stage of growth, development, change and adaptation is managed by the hormonal and autonomic nervous system. Understanding the critical aspects of you that allow you to adapt either effectively or ineffectively and maintain healthy or unhealthy homeodynamics is my passion. I want to hear your story, understand your physiology and provide the guidance and treatment specific to your needs to allow you to live a healthy and vibrant life.

At this point in my practice, most of my focus is spent on working with patients with chronic illnesses, like cancer. I also work with patients with digestive issues, men's health issues and other health conditions. I utilize an integrated approach, including behavior modification, counseling, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, vitamin, mineral and enzyme optimization and intravenous (I.V.) therapy. Although I see many patients for fine tuning and health optimization, I also accept the challenge of working with people with very difficult medical issues, especially folks with issues that conventional medicine has very little to offer.

How to tell if Naturopathy is right for me?
A California naturopath is a practitioner of naturopathy, a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. California Naturopaths improve health by treating the person holistically, tapping a person's own internal body, mind, and spirit resources. Naturopathy comprises a blend of different therapies, all attempting to restore the body to health in the most natural, noninvasive way possible by stimulating the body's own healing powers.
About California Naturopaths?
Graduates from accredited naturopathic medical schools may use the academic title 'Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine' or 'ND' but there is no standardized professional title in all states (see below). Accredited Naturopathic Doctors in California generally practice as primary care providers of naturopathic medicine preferring to use a holistic approach with natural remedies such as medicinal herbs and foods rather than conventional drugs.
